Yesterday was Thanksgiving, which was cool. Lots of food, way more pie than necessary. Trivial Pursuit with the family. I have a lot to be thankful for in life, the usual stuff, which I won't go into here because it's not that kind of blog.
So, what am I thankful for when it comes to comics?
Brubaker's Captain America, just about every month the best thing I read.
Green Lanterns.
The semi-return of the Young Avengers.
The recent appearances of the old Legion of Superheroes in Justice League, reminding me about what I loved about them as a kid, and reinforcing my decision to drop the current book because it just isn't for me anymore. Which is fine.
Countdown, because I do love the concept of a weekly book even when the execution isn't perfect.
Being able to order my comics online, which makes things so, so much easier for those of us who happen to live in the boonies.
The fact that, although comics are more expensive now than they were when I was a kid, they are also much better quality not only in terms of the writing and the art but in terms of the actual product. Can't complain too much about that.
The comic fan community on the net. Which is to say, you guys. :)
